Shoving cookies, one after the other, into my gaping maw hasn’t helped. Watching endless hours of television and films hasn’t helped. The methods I’ve chosen to grieve just aren’t working. You see, I’m a private person, (no one reads this thing) and my Aunt died a few days ago. She was the oldest of 4 […]
Read More ->One of my most loved and used pieces of advice when talking to new writers is to get out and actually make a film before you attempt to write one. Is it mandatory? No. Will it improve your writing? Yes, in folds. But with the folding comes delight, terror, and humor. Here are my top […]
Read More ->Stuck in a rut? Ideas lodged in the mud with the coffee maker you hurdled over the balcony last week because it wouldn’t work any longer? Get your ass outside. I’ve joined a production to help me in my quest to find inspiration. It’s good to be a part of The Haircut, and you can […]
Read More ->I’ve decided to go forth and produce/direct a short that was relinquished back to me from a busy production company that bought it but couldn’t schedule in a time to film my little baby.

Read More ->Over a year ago I helped make a short film that I wrote as a favor to a film student. My involvement was more than I had planned but ironically left me with little input. And as it should be, right? The writer should stand back and watch the magic, not make it. HAH! Days […]
Read More ->Don’t do any business via texting on your cellphone. Just don’t, trust me. The opportunity for typos and errors is almost a given in any contract related negotiation via cellphone. You have been warned.
Read More ->Everyone around you is a potential muse or potential character base. This post is mainly for myself, but enjoy it none the less.

Read More ->January always brings me a new start, and a fresh beginning full of opportunities to completely screw things up. But maybe, just maybe I’ve stumbled upon a good thing this year.
